We sufficiently responded to raised queries by the Auditor General.Prudent management of resources in my administration's top most priority.

Efforts towards sustainable environmental conservation is a collective responsibility that requires a concerted effort.

Today in morning, we held discussions with @NETFUNDkenya officials led by CEO Samson Toniok to chart a way forward towards the rehabilitation of forests in both farmlands and gazetted in our county and conservation of Cherangany Eco System (Water Towers) through a new program from the Italian Government christined "Restoration of the Cherangany Forest Eco System for improved livelihoods".

We will partner with Netfund in enhancing our conservation efforts and improving livelihoods through interventions such as establishment of model nurseries (fruit trees, exotic and Indigenous species), value chain e.g honey production, bamboo production etc, protection, rehabilitation and conservation interventions, clean energy (Bio Gas for house holds and LPG for schools), improved cooking stoves from sustainable cooking technologies, sunstainable financial mechanisms through Cooperative societies, strengthening capacities for CFAs and RUAs, Sustainable land Management rehabilitation, supply of tubes to youth, women, PWDs (Special Groups) and Community Based Organizations(CBOs) among other interventions.

The 4M Euros 💶 program will be implemented in Elgeyo Marakwet and West Pokot counties.

Present included Water and Environment CEC Jason Lagat.

We were privileged today to host the European Union 🇪🇺 Ambassador to Kenya, Her Excellency Henriette Geiger who presided over our County’s International Women's Day celebrations in Iten.

We took the opportunity to reiterate our commitment to championing the rights, inclusion and empowerment of our women and girls.

We also pledged to continue advocating against harmful practices like FGM and Gender Based Violence that are eroding the gains being made in women empowerment.

Further, we requested the Ambassador to facilitate our County's collaboration in development with EU member countries under the EU-Kenya Economic Partnership.

I was joined by our Women Representative Caroline Ng"elechei, Marakwet East MP Kangogo Bowen, Deputy Governor Prof Grace Cheserek, representatives of our development partners and government officials.

It was a great Sunday as we hosted our President H.E Dr. @WilliamsRuto and his Deputy H.E. @rigathi for an interdenominational prayer at Iten Grounds.

I am grateful for the Head of State for having brought us good news as far as development is concerned. He had earlier in the morning commissioned our 80 bed ultra modern Mother and Baby Unit at ICRH.

Among the projects and programs announced by the President to be initiated in our County include;
●Establishment of a military training camp in Kerio Valley beside the ongoing shifting of security personnel to the banks of River Kerio to tame bandits.
●Disarmament-All guns in the hands of civilians to be mopped up.
●Establishment of Kerio Valley and Kolowa Sub-Counties. This will take government services closer to the people.
●Resumption of the construction of Arror and Kimwarer and other small dams to increase food productivity in Kerio Valley through irrigated agriculture.
●Construction of Kaptora, Cheboen, Embobut, Singore and Kipchukukuu dams and others across the county in order to increase water provision to our people and enhance irrigation.
